They think that educational R D is an industry based development model in which findings of research are used to design fresh products and procedures, which then are systematically field-tested, evaluated, and refined until they meet specified criteria of effectiveness, quality, or similar standard. Borg and Gall also stress that educational R D, accounts for less than one percent of each education dollar. Nonetheless, it has promised for improving education because it involves a close connection between systematic program evaluation and program development. The writer uses R D because this research develops the formative assessment on recount for the ten graders of senior high school 11 Semarang.
